REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE
1
Slide the panel on the wheel
cover to the side to expose
tire valve.
Note:
The pressurized air supplies
found at gasoline stations are
designed to inflate high-volume
automobile tires. If you decide to
use such an air supply to inflate
your RipRider 360˚ Caster Trike tire,
first make sure the pressure gauge
is working, then use very short
bursts to inflate to the correct PSI.
If you inadvertently over-inflate the
tire, release the excess pressure
immediately.
Check the Razor web site for any updates on the latest repair and maintenance procedures.
❑
Inflating the Tires
The front tire is inflated when shipped, but it will invariably lose some pressure between the point of manufacturing
and your purchase.
2
Use a bicycle style tire pump
equipped for a Schrader-type valve.
❑
Adjusting the Brakes
1
To adjust the brake play, thread
the brake lever adjuster in or out 1/4
to 1/2 turn until the desired brake
adjustment is attained. Most
adjustments are complete at this
step. If brake still needs further
adjustment, proceed to step 2.
2
If the brake lever adjuster is
threaded outward and the brake
still has too much slack, use the
front caliper brake adjuster for
additional adjustment.
3
Inflate the front tire to the lbs.
indicated on the sidewall of tire.
3
If brake still has too much slack,
adjust the brake cable by loosening
the nut that secures the cable with
a 10mm wrench. Pull the brake
closed so the pads almost touch
the wheel. Pull cable tight and
tighten the nut.
